Quoted here under my account name in case people are looking for it. Thanks for linking it here estenity.

This was down in one of the threads and I want to repost this up at the top level for better visibility.

BEGIN QUOTE
Let me clarify a bit what I meant when I said I thought we could defer activating RingCT after the rebase. The Monero code includes RingCT and removing it would be extra work. I have always expected that the rebased code would include RingCT.

However, Monero also included the RingCT code before RingCT was activated on the mainnet. That is, all of the RingCT code is inactive until reaching a certain minimum mainnet block version. We will have to schedule our own hard forking schedule for increasing block versions and activating features. Just because the code is rebased does not mean that we must increase block versions and activate features on the same schedule (in fact that is impossible since Monero did so some time ago), nor immediately.

I believe we can do the same thing here, and yes I believe that RingCT without bulletproofs is very heavyweight for AEON, not only given the vision and branding but also as a practical matter it is a lot more to expect people to run an expensive node on a coin worth a few bucks than a coin worth hundreds of dollars. One of the risks that always confronts low-value coins is lack of third party support (such as exchanges) because the resource requirements are too high. The rebase is being done in part to reduce resource requirements. Let's avoid giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

So again I would reiterate that I believe the best path forward is for the rebased code to include the RingCT code, not make extra changes removing it, and also that RingCT code should not be activated immediately on the main net. If there are unit tests validating the RingCT code in Monero, which I would expect that there are, those should pass in the rebase. Whether or not to activate it on the test net right now is debatable, but I would suggest to defer that too, and have a testnet matching the intended mainnet configuration for now, in order to assist in transitioning everyone to the new code once it is ready.

In addition, I want to implore the rebase effort participants to avoid 'mission creep'. The goal of the rebase project and the purpose for which a bounty has been offered is to update the code base. It is not to decide on consensus upgrades, nor ask grand sweeping questions about the AEON community and direction.

So, please, all participants please complete your rebase efforts and make a submission of working code (according to the existing AEON consensus rules) ASAP. There has already been one submission that is largely functional. I have stated previously that there can be multiple submissions and multiple winners but that timeline is not unlimited. We need to complete the rebase, get it deployed, and then move on with future development efforts to address these other concerns after the rebase.

What was the point of that memo and what went on in there that caused smooth to deliver a message?

When stuff like

are said, I reckon some developers might be having another idea that doesn't go together with what was originally planned by smooth.

Do we have traitors within our community?

[boomboombazookajeff]

I speculate anything is possible as per the mining attack that happened with aeon pool. Luckily, smooth is spearheading the operation and it is in good hands in the long run.

[bbc.reporter]

Huh? No, not that. I reckon some of the developers who are in for the bounty are sailing in their own direction and are also trying to get the community behind them to get some consensus.

Somehow I knew something like this would happen. I wish someone like Moneromooo was involved in the rebase, not some developer who cannot be trusted.

[boomboombazookajeff]

Perhaps I should be more clear. I was more or less saying that anything is possible with this coin, not that we have some bad actors in our camp. haha.

There are now three rebase submissions.

The first was from u/slbbb (also slb on bitcointalk) who did not submit a pull request but did good and early work in his own repo, first notified me privately and later suggested that I share: https://github.com/pmitchev/aeon-rebased

The two recent submissions are PRs in the official repo: https://github.com/aeonix/aeon-rebase/pulls

u/stoffu
u/DrParadoxically team

I do not believe there will be any more submissions.

The bounty sponsors will now confer regarding a decision on awards to be made.

I will concurrently evaluate the submitted work for purposes of: a) advising the bounty sponsors as the the nature and quality of the work, b) adopting some or all of one or more submissions as the code base for the coin in its main repo going forward.

good news, rebase in progress now.

Great news about the rebase !

[bbc.reporter]

Finally some progress. Thank you for the update.

@smooth. What is your timeline for merging the code rebase? We need LMDB right away. As the blockchain keeps growing, it's making it hard for me to maintain a node.

My Windows node is stuck on block 916,816 and I reckon it's because 8gb of ram cannot handle it anymore. I will post a screenshot later.

Good news about the progress in regards to the code rebase etc... I'm glad to see AEON is taking steps forward and I look forward to the rest of 2018.

I assume that code rebate will include a wallet GUI?

It does not include GUI, but it makes GUI, web wallet, and all open source code written for Monero available for AEON out of the box

Hello!  having little trouble receiving Aeon I sent a few to my address via the console panel and still nothing. hitbtc has sent and confirmed it. Wondering if doing something wrong?

You have to sync aeond, which can take hours or days and may not be possible without sufficient ram. Once aeond daemon is synced, then open simplewallet.

How would you compare your work compared to stoffu's and Dr.Paradox's work on the rebase? Would all 3 have major and noticeable differences that would make each special?

In any case, thank you for your efforts. You were the natural choice for the job, seeing your experience on Cryptonote.

My code is designed to be easily maintained. I made a script which generates the code and it makes future code updates extremely easy - 1 command and you have the code. Sometimes the script requires to be refreshed, but not a lot of work overall. The downside is changes are hard to track - the commits are bulky. The upside - it requires ridiculously small amount of time to maintain the code up to date with the latest Monero version.
The script generating the code is likely (95% chance) to be maintained no matter if it's chosen as the default AEON implementation.

waiting impatiently for news in the rebase area...
